> The rules are designed so that there will be absolutely no encumberance to them using your submission in any way that they want (if you win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place). From limiting datasets to stipulating the license to a requirement of patent unencumberance and broad IP permissions.

The rules not only do that for them, but for anyone else (the direct grant of rights would be sufficient for them, asking for the most permissive license available where there is a choice establishes that for other people.) This is consistent with this being a public interest project.
